Statistics will be nothing if old age catches up on Donaire. This is one major reason why legendary boxers even though have better statistics losses to the young ones. And one of the reasons why Manny Pacquiao won against Oscar Dela Hoya.

But Alejandro Santiago can't be considered to have the same performance level that can be considered currently in super prime.

Nonito Donaire also remains active fighting in the year and that shouldn't give him a rusty performance.

Santiago also doesn't have impressive wins against boxers at the same level as his prime. Donaire just experienced the toughest challenge in his career when he faced Inoue at 40 years old. At the same age, Donaire can surely handle Santiago without a doubt.

Making up some comparison in between their past fight performance, prime to prime then we could really be able to determine on which one is better but Donaire is getting old now
but i do agree on those words that he wouldnt really be giving out that rusty performance.Just like the rest been saying that this might be an easy fight for Donaire
but he shouldnt really be making himself that confident because chances of upsets could really still happen.

I somewhat agree, showing confidence will turn around the game. If Donaire still can't win the upcoming fight then it might be time that needs to hang up the gloves. But, overall this fight could be also hard for Donaire since Santiago is much a power-puncher and hoping he could stand on it.

lol , still the experience will decide the game and that will favor Donaire , yeah Santiago is a strong puncher but we have seen Nonito over the years beating strong hands because of His stamina and long lasting capacity in the ring.
so it is his advantage against this young boxer,

That's what we need to see in this upcoming fight, will Donaire still have the stamina to last 12 rounds?
I am rooting for Donaire here, as the experience itself will give him the advantage over his opponent.
However, we don't know if Donaire can still last long if the fight will go the distance.
If he is up to his game, he can last long. But even if his mind wants it but sometimes the body will show if he is indeed up for it.
But who knows, he can easily beat Santiago as this may be the last hurrah of his boxing career before retirement?
